[Solved]How come the BulletHoles keep facing one direction?
I'm currently working on custom bulletholes, but whenever I test it the part is only facing forward it never faces the intended direction. I don't know exactly why this is happening. I've looked at every question on the site involving bulletholes only one has helped me so far but it is the main cause of my problem. I don't really understand how cframes work and they have always given me a headache to work with. Can somebody please help me?
Script
Evt.HitEffect.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Position, HitPart, Normal, Material, Settings)
if HitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("Player Hit.")
else
local BulletPart = Instance.new("Part", HitPart)
BulletPart.Name = "BulletHole"
BulletPart.Transparency = 1
BulletPart.CanCollide = false
BulletPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, .5, .5)
BulletPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(Normal.X),math.rad(Normal.Y),math.rad(Normal.Z))*CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0) -- line in question
local BulletImage = Instance.new("Decal", BulletPart)
BulletImage.Texture = "rbxassetid://114148608"
BulletImage.Face = Enum.NormalId.Left
local BulletWeld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", BulletPart)
BulletWeld.Name = "BulletWeld"
BulletWeld.Part0 = BulletPart
BulletWeld.Part1 = HitPart
game.Debris:AddItem(BulletPart, math.huge)
end
Evt.HitEffect:FireAllClients(Player, Position, HitPart, Normal, Material, Settings)
end)

I was able to fix the issue with the help of TheEvilDucks Tutorial. I'll explain what I did. First I went to the script that fires the event and I get the mouses position. I'll show an example on how to do that.
This is an Example! I didn't test it.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --plr is the player local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage local MouseHit = plr:GetMouse().Hit --mouse’s position in 3D space ReplicatedStorage.ExampleEvent:FireServer(MouseHit.Position) --this will send the exact position of the mouse.
I use then give the BulletPart the mouse position. Then the way I make sure the image is seen on every face I change cframe to BulletPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position, Position + Normal). The complete script will be put below.
Evt.HitEffect.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Position, HitPart, Normal, Material, Settings, MouseHit)
if HitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("Player Hit.")
else
print(math.floor(MouseHit.X)..","..math.floor(MouseHit.Y)..","..math.floor(MouseHit.Z)) --No point in this line I just put it there for testing.
local BulletPart = Instance.new("Part", HitPart)
BulletPart.Name = "BulletHole"
BulletPart.Transparency = 1
BulletPart.CanCollide = false
BulletPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, .5, .1) --I switched z's size for x's vice versa
BulletPart.Position = MouseHit --I set the position to the mouse's
BulletPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position, Position + Normal) --you can see the line from above here
local BulletImage = Instance.new("Decal", BulletPart)
BulletImage.Texture = "rbxassetid://114148608"
BulletImage.Face = Enum.NormalId.Front --you can see I changed the NormalId to Front.
local BulletWeld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", BulletPart)
BulletWeld.Name = "BulletWeld"
BulletWeld.Part0 = BulletPart
BulletWeld.Part1 = HitPart
game.Debris:AddItem(BulletPart, 7)
end
Evt.HitEffect:FireAllClients(Player, Position, HitPart, Normal, Material, Settings)
end)
It's not as professional as I want but it gets the work done.
